♦◊♦ I’m pretty sure that sometimes “healing” just means learning to live in peace with the pain. I’ve been to countless workshops. I’ve questioned my stressful thoughts for days on end and accumulated countless hours of stranger eye-gazing to weepy Whitney Houston songs; I’ve sat still and starving on desolate mountainsides, determinedly reframed disappointments and
I’ve thought about this idea a lot. In about 100 years (maybe now it’s 125 or 150 as technology goes), the planet will essentially be completely rid of everyone that’s alive today and crawling with a completely new set of people.
